A transmission shaft rotating at 720 rpm and transmitting power from
the pulley P to the spur gear G is shown in Fig. 15.8(a). The belt
tensions and the gear tooth forces are as follows:
P1 = 498 N P2 = 166 N Pt = 497 N Pr = 181 N
The weight of the pulley is 100 N. The diameter of the shaft at bearings
B1 and B2 is 10 mm and 20 mm respectively. The load factor is 2.5 and
the expected life for 90% of the bearings is 8000 h. Select single row
deep groove ball bearings at B1 and B2.
Solution
Given
n = 720 rpm d1 = 10 mm d2 = 20 mm
L10h = 8000 h load factor = 2.5
Step I Radial and axial forces
The forces acting on the shaft are shown in Fig. 15.8(b).
Considering forces in the vertical plane and taking moments of forces
about the bearing B1, We have
Pr (100) +W (400) - RV2(250) = 0
181*(100) + 100*(400) - RV2(250) = 0
Rv2 = 232.4 N ….(i)
also
RV1 + RV2 = Pr + W
Rv1 + 232.4 = 181 + 100
RV1 = 48.6 N ….(ii)
Considering forces in the horizontal plane and taking
moments of forces about the bearing B1,
The reactions at the two bearings are given by
The bearing reactions are in the radial direction.
Therefore,
There is no axial thrust on these bearings; hence,
Fa1 = Fa2 = 0
Step II Dynamic load capacities
P1 = Fr1 = 111.36 N
P2 = Fr2 = 1282.43 N
Considering the load factor
C1 = P1(L10)1/3 (Load factor)
= (111.36)(345.6) 1/3(2.5) = 1953.71 N
C2 = P2(L10)1/3 (Load factor)
= (1282.43)(345.6)1/3(2.5) = 22499.09 N
Step III Selection of bearings
Referring to Table 15.5, the following bearings are available for 10 mm
and 20 mm shaft diameter; Bearing Nos. 6000 and 6404 are suitable at
B1 and B2 respectively.
A shaft transmitting 50 kW at 125 rpm from the gear G1 to the gear
G2 and mounted on two single-row deep groove ball bearings B1 and
B2 is shown in Fig. 15.9(a). The gear tooth forces are
Pt1 = 15915 N Pr1 = 5793 N
Pt2 = 9549 N Pr2 = 3476 N
The diameter of the shaft at bearings B1 and B2 is 75 mm. The load
factor is 1.4 and the expected life for 90% of the bearings is 10000 h.
Select suitable ball bearings.
Given
kW = 50 n = 125 rpm d = 75 mm
L10h = 10 000 h load factor = 1.4
Step I Radial and axial forces
The forces acting on the shaft are shown in Fig. 15.9(b). Considering
forces in the vertical plane and taking moments about bearing B1,
Considering equilibrium of vertical forces,
A similar procedure is repeated for forces in the horizontal plane and
the reactions calculated as follows:
RH1 = 11 898 N RH2 = 7493 N
The radial forces at the two bearings are given by
Since there is no axial thrust,
Fa1 = Fa2 = 0
Step II Dynamic load capacities
P1 = Fr1 = 12 127 N P2 = Fr2 = 15 004 N
Considering the load factor and using formula the dynamic load
capacities are given by,
C1 = P1(L10)1/3 (Load factor)
= (12127)(75)1/3 (1.4) = 71 598 N
C2 = P2(L10)1/3 (Load factor)
= (15004)(75)1/3(1.4) = 88 584 N
Step III Selection of bearings
From Table 15.5, the available bearings at B1 and B2 are as follows:
B1 and B2 (d = 75 mm)
No. 6015 (C = 39 700 N)
No. 6215 (C = 66 300 N)
No. 6315 (C = 112 000 N)
No. 6415 (C = 153 000 N)
Therefore, Bearing No. 6315 is suitable at B1 as well as B2.
